Lament of War

Smoke signals rise, iron horses on the frozen river

War drums thunder, banners flapping in the gale

Swords unsheathed, blood stains the battlefield

Heroes, where are you, asking the vast sky

War flames fly, people displaced

Homes shattered, tears fall on the land

Iron cavalry charges, mountains and rivers broken

A lament sings, who resonates with the refrain

Beacon fires stretch across the sky, sleepless nights

The lone city under the moon, stars sink into the sea
